Andrea Morini, Diego Ricchiuti, Fabio Negri, Luca De Dominicis, Roberto De Ioris, Stefano Cozzi, Stefano Silvestri, Tommaso Bonanni, Valentina Leotta



 

Video games, now considered the eighth art, are one of the fastest-growing markets and cultural industries in the world today. In Italy as well, the game industry is continually expanding, with revenues surpassing those of the film industry, and it offers concrete and diverse employment opportunities. Creating a video game requires writers, sculptors, painters, programmers, musicians, animators, actors, and more. The end credits are often much longer than those of a movie. Which roles are in the highest demand? What career paths are available?


This manual provides a comprehensive overview of all the professions involved in the production of a video game, outlining exhaustive details of actual job prospects and their potential. From the game designer, the most creative role responsible for studying and analyzing gameplay mechanics and maintaining the vision over time, to the 3D/2D artist, who takes the creatives' ideas to shape characters, through to the narrative designer, AI (Artificial Intelligence) experts, and game programmer, for whom demand even exceeds supply.


The Professions of Video Games delves into the details of each sector in this artistic and professional world, explaining each professional role that constitutes it, offering a comprehensive guide for high school students who have not yet decided on the right path to follow after graduation, as well as university students and professionals who wish to turn their passion for this art into a career. As the sociologist Alberto Abruzzese wrote, this art form is "our most advanced frontier and our most fascinating future."
